6. Love sometimes has to be learned.
Love demands trust, openness, and vulnerability. It is a higher order function that requires the brain’s prefrontal cortex to send the amygdala signals that are powerful enough to overcome the automatic fight or flight response. Those who have experienced trauma or abuse often have an overdeveloped fight or flight reaction that is extremely difficult to break through.
Over time, a patient partner can often teach someone struggling with this to experience love, especially if a professional therapist is involved. However, the person in question has to be psychologically and emotionally ready to undertake this often painful journey.
Never try to force a potential partner to love you, and do not sit around waiting for that person to be ready. If you have put in some time and effort with no change, you might be better served by moving on.
Love is hard to define, tough to find, and difficult to hold onto.
However, science holds valuable lessons that can demystify this complicated emotion and make it easier to find a meaningful, lasting love of your own.
